A very good place to be with people, family and friends. One thing I noticed there's no restrooms around, a lot of trash around the place, overall, this place is a good place eat and have fun.

This is one of the most iconic places to visit in town. Here you will find some important buildings and government offices, the municipal palace, the old municipal palace (now a museum), the state government palace (that also includes a museum section), the commerce lighthouse with its powerful laser ray on top (it can only be seen at night), the Neptune fountain and mamy, many other cultural attractions to spend a whole weekend wandering around one of the oldest part of town, the so called "barrio antiguo". There are plenty of parking lots around, no problem with that.

Reportedly the fifth largest city plaza in the world, this is indeed a wonderful walking area, diverse in what it has, with especially my favorite the Neptune water fountain. This plaza adds a great atmosphere to the experience and wonderfulness of Monterrey. This public space is about 400k square meters (~100 acres), with the Government Palace on the southern end (closer to the Rio Santa Catarina) as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Monterrey, and stretching to the north with the LABNL Lab Cultural Ciudadano and the Museum del Palacio / Palacio de Gobierno del Estado Nuevo León (which is absolutely gorgeous especially at night). There are a number of statues, with my favorite being the Monumento al Trabajo (Monument to Workers), as my degree is metallurgical engineering, and also as a director / manager, I’ve much appreciation for those that labor in the front lines. Of course the before mentioned Fuente de Neptuno is inspiring, and also lol refreshing as its mist helps take some of the heat away on the downwind side. There are dozens of street vendors, food to handmade crafts, all selling their products. You will also hopefully catch various performers such as fire dancers, and guitar or saxophone musicians. I was also able to see dancers performing outside part of the Teatro de la Ciudad one evening. The library Biblioteca Central Estado Fray Servando Teresa De Mier is also nearby, but sadly I was not able to visit it. Many athletic events have their start / finish here too, including a major triathlon along with a 5k/10k event, the former being a significant undertaking with participants coming from many other countries, and the latter likewise large organized by the nearby gorgeous Catedral Metropolitana de Nuestta Senora de Monterrey. To the east of the northern area is a large walkway with neat street lamps that takes you to the interesting Museum of Mexican History, along with the western end of the stunning and cool Canal de Santa Lucia, which is itself an awesome walkway. To the east on the southern area is the likewise wonderful area of Barrio Antiguo, which has awesome tasty restaurants and many nightclubs and cool theater. To the west on the southern area is the walking only pathway José Maria Morelo, which has its own flavor of vendors snd shops too. I am so jealous and sad that my hometown of St. Louis, Missouri doesn’t have anything close to what this amazing city public area has… so vibrant, full of life and culture and wonderful people.

Definitely a spot to visit in Monterrey as it shows the modern side of cultural city.

We paid for parking only to discover this is not wheelchair accessible from the parking lot. We ended up leaving as a result. I came back on a separate day and it had a church service... But other than that it's full of street vendors and walkable

Very nice and enjoyable evening with the family .. love out trip in the boat .. lots of food , churros, corn in a cob , hot dogs .. whenever you have a chance come and join the adventure

my... opinion is ambiguous at best. a. I think it is... let me say, cute, plainly. the boat ride is a bit... disappointing. Brief... and there is not much to enjoy for the price... perhaps, this opinion changes at night when the illumination changes the view drastically. albiet... the boat gets annoyingly packed. AND... at night it gest uncomfortable insecure. The museums... well, not espectacular ! The macro plaza... it is only a huge esplanade with little to offer to the eye. It is... just that, an esplanade to walk Nd walk around. the flea market stands... well, well, well, ... (three dots) perhaps... at night, in terms of visual attraction to photography 📸, it changes a bit. Yet... at some points it is i secure.

Super great park to go as a family, ride bike, or go for a run. An artificial lake goes through a portion of the park making it a very pretty scene while walking by, towards the largest land mass of the park you’ll find a big track and within it many entertainment and cuisine options to match your desires.

Awesome third space in Monterrey. Serene mornings with birds chirping, squirrels playing and pure greenery. Great break from the bustling cityscape. Also hosts fun activities and is absolute must visit for cyclists, joggers and skaters on the weekends. Having been converted from an erstwhile Fundidora (Foundry), there's industrial museum inside and there are other industrial artifacts that can be seen without entry fees. An artificial canal gives ferry tours to Santa Lucia. Makes for great weekend morning walks especially due to potable water and clean restrooms always close by.

Really enjoyed visiting Fundidora Park! Neat to see the old steelworks and industrial buildings repurposed into a public space. The park is exceptionally clean and well maintained, with plenty of vending machines and spotless playground equipment for families. The outdoor workout stations were a nice bonus, and it’s a great place for a stroll around the museums. Lots to see and do while still feeling peaceful and open.

This park is beautiful, quiet, safe, and open terrific hours. I was in Monterrey on a business trip and walked and ran in the park daily, it was an amazing location, well used by so many for relaxation and exercise alike.

This is a nice place to take a long walk and grab a bite on a food cart. It is common for Fundidora Park to have special one-time or short-running events (exposition, conventions, plays, etc) which are worth checking. Price Warning: Food carts here have high prices given its popularity. Parking Warning: There are lots of parking space and it is still not enough. Disclaimer: I am not a fan of the expositions' prices, and considering I live far from here adding transportation (traffic being a factor) I rated it three stars. If you don't consider these reasons to be a big factor, this could be a four star spot. Traffic Warning: If you are arriving or exiting late at night, be ready to feel "parked in traffic". It is that bad on at least a three block radius.

Interesting history of the area, were was a huge steel foundry in the past. Rebuild to a park for the citizens with several attractions and amusements.

It is an AMAZING place. Restaurants, museums, playgrounds, bicycles for rent, boat rides, dinosaur park, helipad. There is so much to do and see even if one goes 10 times.

Honestly. Do this if you have NEVER been on a boat or something. It was so boring… and I’m mainly giving a bad score because I was lied too…. I had come out of the museum… I bought the ticket for 120pesos aka 6dollars… waited like 15minutes - and then when we got to the other side I told the driver… can I just give you the other half of ticket so you can bring me back - he said: “Sure. But you still need to get off because we won’t leave for another 10min… (only 3 boats were working that day) - and so I said…. “Ugh. I guess I’ll go buy a drink…” - it was super hot! And yeah… I get off the boat and when I bought the drink…. He put the people inside the boat and LeFt Me!!!! Left me!!!! I had to sit there for like 20 minutes waiting for another boat… it ruined my itinerary and wasn’t able to make the cut for the next museum. I was pissed the entire evening. How dare he lied to me. So annoyed. But again…. This ride is not exciting at all. People are cramped in together and the drivers are bored with their job.

It was a good experience to do with my family. I felt I learned a little more about Monterrey. You get to see really nice murals, nice view of the mountains, and older artifacts. I didn't get off and looked around after the first stop. The narrative is only in Spanish from what I saw. The trip is about 30 min long and I paid 120 pesos roundtrip.

The wait is very long and it's first-come first-board so you're absolutely forced to wait in that line for over an hour on busier days/times. The trip scenery itself is nice. Likely better to go in the evening to avoid the hot sun.

This is an absolute gem in Monterrey. Beautiful, calming, and just the best place to walk and not even know you're in a city. I was in Monterrey for a business trip and I walked/ran along here and Fundidora daily. I always felt safe and it was very relaxing. If you're in Monterrey and looking for a nice walk without being on the city streets, check it out.

Kinda weirded out everytime I see people swimming there, but overall a nice place to walk/jog; love the ducks

A great way to get from Macroplaza to the Park, plus you get a return trip before 6pm. Beautiful scenery along to way with the opportunity to get some good video footage.

A place you must visit when visiting Monterrey

The restaurant is definitely beautiful and has a fancy atmosphere. Most of the dishes were delicious, especially the carpaccio and the steak, which were outstanding. However, the salad was disappointing — it looked sloppy and didn’t taste good either. Overall, it’s a nice place, but honestly, it feels a bit overrated. Still worth a visit if you’re looking for a stylish spot.

Service and food were great but classless customers who swear loudly ruined the atmosphere. The sashimi de New York con yuzukosho was good but dressing was too strong on the greens. The ribeye a la sal was super rich. The sticky toffee pudding is amazing!

First time here and food was amazing! Appetizers, main course and dessert were all excellent. Even better than the food was the service. Brandon was our server and he was the best waiter I’ve had since I can remember. Can’t wait to come back !

I enjoyed my dining experience at this restaurant. The layout was elegant and service was attentive. Our waiter made great recommendations and let us know when we had ordered enough items to start with. I appreciated that because it was our first visit and we were unsure about the portion sizes. Our steak and grilled vegetables were both nicely presented. And I also liked the variety of sauces available at the table.

La Nacional: Unforgettable Dining Experience in Monterrey Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) If you’re searching for an extraordinary dining experience in Monterrey, look no further than La Nacional. This vibrant and highly recommended restaurant exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we stepped in, we were captivated by the lively ambiance and welcoming vibes that filled the air. Even on a bustling Friday evening, La Nacional’s accommodating staff seated us promptly, adding to the positive impression. Their friendly and attentive service throughout the night made us feel right at home, ensuring an enjoyable and memorable evening. Now, let’s dive into the highlight of our visit—the food. The appetizers we sampled left us in awe. The sashimi showcased the freshest flavors of the sea, while the chicharrón de rez (beef cracklings) provided a satisfying crunch and a burst of savory delight. However, the true showstopper was the aguachile steak strips, tantalizing our taste buds with a perfect balance of tanginess and spiciness. But it was the 2” thick steak that stole the spotlight. Prepared to absolute perfection, each succulent bite transported us to carnivorous paradise. Its juiciness and unrivaled flavor made it clear that this was the best steak we had ever experienced—a true masterpiece. La Nacional’s exceptional dining experience left a lasting impression on us.

Maybe the best restaurant I have ever ate at

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Monterrey. It definitely exceeds my expectations each time! I recommend getting the Rib Eye but also the Cauliflower was amazing and the Tuétanos are great!

This review is long overdue! I've been dreaming of this place for over a decade. El Rey del Cabrito in Monterrey is simply legendary. It's more than a restaurant; it's a pilgrimage for anyone who loves good food. I finally made it back and it was even better than I remembered. The cabrito was perfection—tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The atmosphere is vibrant and feels like a party. My only regret? Not being able to eat more. Can't wait to be back in another 10 years... or maybe I'll make it sooner this time! A must-visit.

A dining experience at El Rey de Cabrito is not just a meal; it’s a non-negotiable part of any trip to Monterrey. This is a culinary institution that you simply must visit for a taste of authentic Nuevo León tradition. While it is a little expensive, the quality and experience make it completely worth it. The famous cabrito (slow-roasted kid goat) is smoky, tender, and the reason for the name, but for me, the side dishes are the true hidden gem. The frijoles con veneno (beans with "poison") alone are worth the trip. These are not just refried beans—they are rich, creamy, and topped with a glorious, reduced red chile and pork sauce. They are addictively flavorful and the perfect complement to the savory cabrito. Come here for the main event, but stay for the legendary sides.

The food was amazing but our waiter wasn’t that great! Would have to get his attention every time . Also, he had an attitude:(

Everything was delicious, but it was a bit more expansive than I wanted and more food than I could eat by myself. Still glad I got to try goat from one of the best places in Monterry.

One of the Greatest Place in Monterrey 🇲🇽 The atmosphere is higher than expected. We like specifically the food and service. Love it !

Is not what it used to be, living now on their fame - will try other places now. Service now is terrible, plenty of servers, uniquely unorganized. Food taste good, but cabrito portions have more bone than meat, feels like a scam. Atmosphere is very nice, too bad on the service and food experience.

The reputation is talking for itself here, an absolute experience if you're in Monterrey. I was not sure to what type of cabrito I should eat and the service was very helpful to bring a mix dish for me to try. Awesome quality and taste!

Decent French wine bistro/restaurant with a cute ambiance. Complimentary bread - served warm with soft creamy butter and olive butter. Black truffle risotto - was hoping for fresh black truffle shavings on the risotto. The rice is cooked al dente and the texture creamy and rich. Chocolate tart - underwhelming for me. The crust did not taste buttery, and the sorbet didn’t add value to the dish. Sadly the best part of this dessert was the cherry. I can see this being a nice place for a date or intimate gathering. Service is swift and attentive.

I always struggled to find good options for dining in Monterrey. Sometimes too expensive (and not great) and other times just bad (bad!) food. We chose the 3 meal course with wine pairing, the food is consistent and well prepared and the waiter was pretty knowledgeable about wine and really attentive. Our favorite course was the dessert though, pumpkin with a cream and dehydrated lemon with an Italian vermut for pairing. The wine menu is amazing.

I invited my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday and we really enjoyed the food, the service and the coziness. Preferably make a reservation in advance. If you have a chance to go on Monday they have a live jazz band.

Excellent French restaurant! Their food was absolutely delicious, we had this San Pedro Week menu, and I got to say that everything was incredible well executed! Flavors pop in your mouth!

Delicious food and very attentive service.

The food and service here is usually excellent. However, on our last visit they failed to keep our reservation. Tip. Call to confirm even if you made a reservation with one of their online reservation services.

This is a great restaurant if you want something a bit special. You can tell they have a professional chef. The waiters were very attentive and the food perfectly cooked.

Visited for the breakfast buffet and assumed it was like in the photos here, however the staff explained that due to Covid they no longer have a self serve buffet, so you actually have to order with your server and its prepared in the kitchen. However, the food took very long to come out over 35 minutes for breakfast items and not just our table but others around us as well. So we literally drank a few cups of coffee as we waited for eggs, chilaquiles and Barbacoa. Since you can no longer see the items on the buffet, It’s kind of hard to order and know what looks appetizing. We did try a few different things and everything was tasty despite the initial wait time. The Barbacoa was delicious and flavorful, prepared perfectly. Menudo was a little greasy but had a great flavor. The table staff was friendly and very attentive ensuring we had coffee and juice refills. -1 star for the wait time. Our overall breakfast time took nearly 2 hours. A bit longer than we anticipated. It was a good value for the breakfast buffet price. I would visit again for its excellent staff and barbacoa.

We had a great lunch! The ribeye was fantastic. All the meats come with a feee salad bar. It was a good portion of food. The only thing we weren’t the biggest fans of was the pay de plátano. I think it was way too much caramel, but other than that, everything was great. we also had excellent service with Valentin and the manager Santiago was great and very attentive! We would definitely come back.

Delicious food,great service Miguel was very attentive and courteous.

Possibly the best goat I’ve ever had. This is a must stop when visiting the city. Service is absolutely incredible!!

Fantastic dining experience! The service was truly outstanding. Our server, Flavio, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and made sure all our needs were met throughout the meal. The food was delicious, and every steak at our table was cooked perfectly, just as we ordered. The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is because my mother felt her ribs had too much fat and not enough meat. Flavio noticed right away that she hadn’t touched her plate and promptly informed the manager, Santiago. Both of them came to the table, sincerely apologized, and quickly made things right. Overall, it was a wonderful visit and I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to others!

Delicious food. Great service and atmosphere. 💕😋

Very nice restaurant to enjoy Cabrito meat.

Great place to visit if you’re on vacations or to take people to experience the Mexican culture and regional food. The food is not great quality as usual with buffets, but you get to taste different dishes and desserts. The details in the decor are wonderful and a joy to discover every corner while eating.

Honestly. I love frijoles so much and i was so disappointed they were tasteless. I’m a frijolero and yeah… was disappointed but everything else was awesome!!! There was a guy singing… he brought me good memories of my father singing those old style songs…. Very nice waiters. Super attentive and as a matter of fact. I would come back for the waiters. They were very on top of their service -

The atmosphere of this restaurant is very unique and cool! The outdoor decor with ancient vehicles was picture worthy. I ordered the carne asada tacos, which were very tasty; as well as the mixto fajitas. Portions are generous and I couldn’t finish my meal and had to take the leftovers back home! The dishes are decently priced . I recommend this restaurant.

Such an interesting place. The details inside and outside the restaurant made me feel like I hopped in a time machine. We got the Mixta doble and oh man, the salsas were amazing! I practically drank them. The chicharrones were a bit of a letdown since they came out cold, but the asado puerco totally made up for it (i guess there was a beef option too).

Welcome to a typical Mexican restaurant. You can taste several and local food and drinks. Prices are fair and quality is very good. If you are in Monterrey, take your time to know this place. There is a little museum where you will find cars, bottles, cans, handcrafted products... Parking are is well dimensioned. Take a lot of pictures and share with yours friends....

Muy delicioso! Very delicious dishes and the service was great. Parking was a bit confusing but there are three restaurants in that center. It's also paid parking.

This place is in a small gated plaza called La Mexicana. It is beautiful in there with tons of parking and little pop up shops. The restaurant itself is gorgeous! It has so much decorations to look at, on weekends they have a beautiful breakfast buffet and then in the afternoon they start their regular menu. When we got their we did have to wait a bit but it did not take long, we got seated and they took our drink orders quick. They brought us delicious salsa and tostadas as a botana. The entrees did not take long to come out but oh my! The food was delicious and it had a while bunch of flavors. It was exquisite and very enjoyable. I am definitely will be coming back!
